I notice one thing i'm not doing is weekly and monthly reviews of the to do list.
So some things keep going undone for years.
I tend not to write to my mom or call my ex, although those are both important tasks.
It's 6 am. I just had a hot bath, that helped a little, but I'm very depressed right now,
focusing on the hopelessness of it all.
I am organizationally challenged.
I misplaced my driver's license.
Without it, I can't get a job.
Without a job, I can't afford a decent place to live.
Without a decent place to live, I wind up here, with roaches crawling on me.
With roaches crawling on me, I get depressed, so I wind up organizationally challenged.
To do today: memo on yesterday's meeting with caudill.
To do today: email aclunv.
To do today: be sad. maybe write about it.
did list - this seems to have taken hours, but i drafted a letter to try to get my birth cert.
i feel pretty sure they will kept the $10 and not send me the cert, which is why i haven't done it yet.
several hours later: i'm getting a few little things done here and there. wrote to the nevada aclu about the case they won that affected my case.
this is not a public blog, just a place hwere i can leave myself notes. nothing to see here folks, move along.

Wednesday, August 18, 2004
Did list:
it didn't feel like a very productive day. I drank a lot last night,and took it easy, mostly messing around on myspace.com. But I made some progress setting up the new computer, added speakers, downloaded a videioplayer, so i was able to see dannon's movie trailers, and posted pics of him and links to the trailers, on myspace. I didn't find anything online - I could offer to set up a myspace page for rockstar promotions. Heck, i could do that for caudill, adding in some economic functionality. And I should check on the status of my just a geek franchise.
It's a very small start, but once i have some e-commerce going, it can get bigger.
The idea, awhile back, was to set up an online store to sell levis, converse, tshirts, and freedom rings. Hey if i did that i could hire models to model the wares. Heh. I'm way far away from implementing all that, but...
the idea could come together here.
This isn't exactly a todo list or a did list. It's another coffee-drinking idea-having session.
I have to be careful with that. Still, it's a matter of riding the extropian meme.
Build a page, see if they come. Get slashdotted, get venture capital.
Here's a goal: instalanch shaun's aids walk.
Bigger goal: slashdot shaun's aids walk.
step in that direction: use wheatonia.
fun project: build wil a myspace page.
Anyway. So lately the vision has been about,
make a site, do ecommerce by linking to spank sites on commision basis.
the idea is offer lots of information for free,
and also have stuff to charge for.
plug in max?
have it as offshore as possible.
have a lot of polically correct stuff like stop prison rape, peacefire, etc.
hungerproject, etc.
have a tip jar.
offer free software.
offer free books.
sell stuff, thinkgeek, amazon, zapworld.
ok i'm still way off target.
what three things did i do today?
last night, i did my artist's date, by going to chameleon. i found dinner, and a book, and $30.
this morning i did my morning pages, writing 3 pages. trouble was, that took all day. i should set an hour time limit on the morning pages maybe.
i continued setting up the new computer, added speakers, spybot, quicktime.
I should run defrag.
seems like the system runs ok.
i watched danny's movie, checked a local model's page (ok timewaster), but all under heading of someday i want to make movies, while that's still a rarity.
i had free tickets to a movie tonight, and forgot to go. it was an hour ago.
to do: i had a call from dan evans re 39 eastern avenue.
i need to do a letter of intent.
that would be one small doable task.
a planned chore that once done, i could take some credit for.
other stuff that goes on the to do list list:
respond to collection agency letter. let them know the issue is in dispute, that i have no record of contracting with them or their client, that i have a policy of resisting scams and threats, that their letter may be in that category, that i am a tenatious and determined opponent, that, if this is the matter i think it is, i have already fought off one law firm, the guy witht he drinking and driving proble, that i have not yet opened a research file on his company, but might do so if pushed, that i have a tendency, when sued maliciously, to countersue, that i deny the debt, that i'm hell on wheels. but i'd be willing to discuss a fair settlement, just to get it off my desk.
look into referral for disability for roommate. disabled american veteran, a tank repairman with post-traumatic stress- lined depression - is that it? get a referral.
what three things did i do today?
not much so far. not much.
let me try again.
i ran spybot added speakers and video to my new computer.
related to do: thank joanie for use of spybot.
could install video codec pack while i'm at it.
i took a cal from dan evans, repeated my offer re 39 eastern.
related to do: letter of intent.
so i guiess so fa there has been no 3rd thing. i need to keep track of my myspace addiction., maybe set a timer of some sort.
i looked at outlook, learned a bit about how to use the calander and memo features, found out i couldn't access corel via my fred profile, learned a bit more of my way around the computer.
related to do: go see if i can find the deed, talk to joell if he's home, discuss monitor.
discuss computer repair issues.
related to do: email virtual scavengers.
so all i did was
1 - set up computer.
2. phone call with dan evans.
3. began to discuss concerns with roommate.
ate a well rounded dinner - an avacado on a tortilla w lime.
edit - 4 updated danny crews dossier, provided links to video. not totally wasted effort.

the plan here is for a longer more detailed version of the earlier to do list.
gt's" todo listnot sure what this is.ok it's a link to whatewver blog one is at.that could be useful.
